Many people have never heard of this small, but important, gland until it is not functioning properly. Thyroid disease affects between 30 and 60 million people in the United States. Your thyroid's main role is to secrete hormones, which are responsible for controlling metabolism, body temperature, growth, and more.

Pre-registration is required by calling 814-472-2783 or emailing mkrimmel@francis.edu. Please feel free to bring your lunch to this session.
